But as the trio headed through Daytona Beach Shores, a public safety officer noticed the vehicle they were in was reported stolen out of South Carolina, according to an arrest affidavit.

The officer stopped the car in the 2700 block of South Atlantic Avenue shortly before 3:30 a.m. Thursday. The driver, Shalamar Lawrence, told the officer — after providing a false name and claiming he had no form of identification — that a friend in South Carolina had given him the car as a gift, according to the report.

Lawrence, 33, said he and his girlfriend were giving Robert Cook a ride home because Cook “had provided Angela Miller with half of the money that she had earned from dancing” on Thursday, according to the report.

Miller, 33, said she didn’t know Cook, but “he had spent $8 on her while she danced.”

Cook, who was “incredibly uncooperative and refused to answer most questions,” couldn’t explain how he knew the couple but said “the black guy was driving me home,” according to the report.

After finding drug paraphernalia and Lawrence’s South Carolina inmate ID card, the officer asked Lawrence, who now lives in Daytona Beach, why he lied about his identity, according to the report. Lawrence said he’s “been in enough trouble” and “wanted to start over.”

Lawrence and Miller both are charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, records show. Lawrence also is charged with giving a false name upon being arrested/detained and operating a vehicle with a license that’s been suspended/canceled or revoked. Records show Miller, of Daytona Beach, also is charged with possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Cook, a Gainesville resident, is charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the report.

All three suspects remain in custody at the Volusia County Branch Jail, records show. Miller’s bail is set at $3,500, Lawrence’s at $3,000 and Cook’s at $1,500.
